Supervolcano : the catastrophic event that changed the course of human history (could Yellowstone be next?)

Abstract:

What supervolcanos are, where they are found, and why they are so deadly to life on earth.---How genetic, geological and computer studies show that each human today is related to a survivor of the Toba supervolcano in Indonesia.---How we can prepare for the next supervolcano, which could be right here in our own back yard--Yellowstone National Park or Long Valley, California--and why an eruption at either location could be as catastrophic for humanity as Toba.
